Compost and Humic Acid Mitigate the Salinity Stress on Quinoa ( Chenopodium Quinoa Willd L.) and Improve Some Sandy Soil Properties

Enrichment of sandy soils with compost and humic acid amendments could increase the contents of nutrient availability, improve soil chemical characteristics and enhance quinoa plants growth and alleviating the hazardous effect of saline irrigation water. In the current study, compost (CT) and humc acid (HA) were used to reduce the negative effects of saline water on quinoa growth. The pots experiment treatments were as follows: CF = chemical fertilizer, CT1 = 1
